Tiger’s Fuzzy food

Editor,
I was amazed the other day to hear on TV all the “hot water” golfer Fuzzy Zeoller got into by saying that because Tiger Woods won the Masters there would be soul food (fried chicken) served at the banquet following the tournament. Maybe in the future if Mr. Zeoller wants to talk about Tiger Woods’ diet he should mention Gai-Yan, Kao Pad, Pad Thai, etc. I am sure the Thai people living in the USA would not take this as an insult as they love to talk about food. Having a Thai mom, I will be willing to bet he eats more Thai food than southern fried chicken.
USA, land of the brave, but not the free.
Sincerely,

Thank you Pattaya & Thailand

Editor,
Not every town in Thailand is as lucky as Pattaya nowadays.
Since many years, the authorities are building streets and canals with every possible effort. Now we got a superb 3rd Road joining South Pattaya to North Pattaya. To make this road safe, traffic lights and all kinds of traffic signs have been added. It is a great job and in the name of many nameless users of this new facility, I would like to express my thankfulness to everyone involved in this great project which will become a reality within a few months.
Thanks to all authorities who helped to clean up the bad elements in this town. It might have affected for a few days some tourist busines-ses, but let’s hope that it has been a sign for the future in order to prevent crimes and drugs. Pattaya is a good place to live in if all of us take care.

Discovery in Pattaya

We apologise to all viewers of Sophon cable, for the lost transmissions of the ‘Discovery Channel’ We are at present in contact with ‘Discovery” and we hope this popular station will be back ‘on air’ in the very near future.
Sophon Cable

Some get it, some don’t

Dear Sirs,
I fully agree with the letter of ‘Shaky Pete’! Living at the Thai Garden Resort which is connected to this so called ‘Sophon Cable’, not only there are lost channels (in this hotel you can get only 5 Thai-channels, 2 video channels, CNN, Star Plus, Star Sport and some Indian programs) but the reception of this program is, by all means, incredibly poor. Sometimes one can see only ‘snow’ and other times there is no sound. The video-channel you can hardly see because of noise and hear because you get interference with the walkie-talkies of Pattaya Police!
Why is it that the reception of the same cable operator is clear and with all 30 channels at, for example, restaurants ‘Deutsches Haus’ and ‘Alt Heidelberg’ restaurant? Even the German ‘Deutsche Welle TV’ is received there clearly in audio as well as video! But such fine hotels as Siam Bayshore, Siam Bayview, Quality Resort, Cosy Beach, Royal Cliff and the one I live at cannot get this reception?! Is the culprit Sophon Cable or do the hotels not pay enough fee for this full programs of 30 channels? A cable is a cable: In it all channels should be available to every house/hotel connected to it!
Why don’t the GM’s of these hotels do anything about it? Do they really not notice how many people go to the restaurants where the full programs can be received, such as live sports, Deutsche Welle or the very interesting Discovery Channel? Look at the Italian restaurants: They get RAI UNO and the French Restaurants receive from Sophon Cable French channel(s)! And people sit there, eat and drink, as in their hotels this service is not available - except the Novotel and Mercure Hotel where there are French programs, too.
Come on, Sophon Cable, you can do better if you only want to. And in case of the hoteliers, take a little bit more care of your international guests, give service, even it may cost a little.
